    Class of 2022 PG Dior Johnson (NY / CA)

    So that's interesting. I was always taught 'their' was for plural possessive situations only, not when referring to a single person. Had to look it up and was blown away to find that's not a hard and fast rule anymore...mainly because people have been doing it incorrectly for so many years...

    Class of 2022 PG Dior Johnson (NY / CA)

    Always good to see incorrect grammar (their vs. his/her) on an official high school document, especially one celebrating scholastic achievement. And I was worried the quality of education in this country was slipping.

    Recruiting

    Could you elaborate on the crippling nature of the sanctions? I don't remember all the details now, but I remember the main thing being that we couldn't be out on the recruiting trail as much, therefore limiting the amount of relationship-building we could do with recruits. Was there other...

    So you're saying IJ's pick could give a clue about KR's impending decision...like a Kadary in the coal mine?

    Thought he just said he was going to commit in Nov., but didn't see any confirmation that he actually did. I honestly can't keep track with this recruitment anymore.

    Latest Crystal Ball Predictions

    Sure. But what I'm responding to is when people criticize the team's strategy, the pushback often comes in the form of 'we've been to a bunch of final fours recently, stop complaining', or 'JB is an all-time great, stop complaining'. IMO that sort of thing doesn't really respond to the...

    Latest Crystal Ball Predictions

    He's talking offensive philosophy though, not results. A lot of people shoot down these criticisms of how we play by pointing to results, which I suppose is fair. But it's also fair to point out ways in which we could be better. We all want SU to win, but it's ok to want them to win playing a...

    Hey, did you guys know Zion Williamson is playing for the Duke this year?

    Love the name of that series too: Earn Everything. For example, when Duke paid off Zion, et al., they had to *earn* that money first. Very important, and very ethical first step. Earning is so important.

    Please, somebody, can we get some photoshopped pics of coaches on hoverboards. Mental image of that = gold. Bonus points for anybody that can scrap together an image of Tom Crean on a hoverboard...while petting a cat.

    Trouble at Duke?

    You may be right. Will be fun to watch either way.

    Trouble at Duke?

    Yup. It's just not in the NCAA's financial interest to take down it's own flagship programs.

    Trouble at Duke?

    I think there's definitely some truth to this. Some have been caught, some haven't. And reasons for that probably involve A LOT of politics.

    Right, it could get very interesting. Does the FBI have the cojones to go there with Duke though?

    Trouble at Duke?

    I don't like the idea that schools can cheat with impunity either---it's antithetical to the idea of fair completion. And I really don't know if I believe what I was told about SU and 'bags' (it was from someone who played in the 80s, at a different college, and was basically gossip), but my...

    Trouble at Duke?

    I believe the FBI's involved due to wire fraud, bribery, etc. charges, not NCAA rule infractions.

    Trouble at Duke?

    Maybe we're clean in the current situation, but I've heard it said that SU dropped our own 'bags' in the 80s and 90s. Not sure if that stuff is true, but generally my impression is that all the big boys have been playing this game for a long time. Some get caught, some don't. But nobody's...

    Trouble at Duke?

    Yikes. No offense, but maybe not a good analogy. Who's the victim here? The kids, who manipulate an already corrupt system to make bank for themselves and their family? The fans, who know the deal but watch anyway? Certainly not the coaches and shoe companies. Unless you count the concept...

    Amazing how Louisville still attracts quality recruits after all the mess over there. They lost their HOF coach, dignity, NC and F4, and even their hookers. And kids are still lining up like it’s the coolest taco truck in town.

    This ranks up there (or down there) with the Palace brawl.

    Maker needs to brush up on that flying kick form. Looks like a 3rd grader that just watched karate kid for the first time...albeit he would be a 7' tall 3rd grader in this analogy. Perhaps a little more like this:

    What to expect from Orange's 3 freshmen (Syracuse basketball player forecasts)

    From the video, Braswell seems to have really good timing on his blocks. Not all state high jump champions are going to have that. Looks like we're getting a real basketball player, excited about this one!

    Battle v Bazley....

    Somewhat surprised by the almost unanimous choice of Tyus here, this is a pretty tough question IMO. Battle was huge for us last year, and I know he was asked to do a ton for a team that didn't have that many other offensive options, but the reality is that he was fairly inefficient in that...

    haha, not sure if you're totally serious or not, but I think there's definitely something to be said about slippery morals in the world of recruiting. Not saying anyone on the SU staff breaks the rules--I have absolutely no reason to think they do--but I think in a high-pressure, high stakes...

    Don't think he made any accusations, did he? Seems to me he was simply making an observation about the timeline of our involvement with this recruit which, to be fair, has been unusual--at least based on appearances. Don't really see what's wrong with that.

    Good PR for Zone

    Normally I hate Duke with all the pints of blood in my body, so it's hard to even express gratitude to them for something, but... I have to say it's been nice to see all the positive press about their zone. As a defense, zone needs a little good PR, and I have to think all the up-and-coming...

    Quotes from Michigan State's forum

    I love this one as well, so many good lines in there! I just re-watched it again for kicks, and around the 5:47 mark he appears to try a voodoo curse or something on Brissett, before he takes his FTs. Didn't work, but I'll give him points for creativity.

    Hypotheical: Would you trade the 96, 13 and 16 final four runs for the 87 championship?

    Absolutely. Those FF runs were amazing, but losing the 87 game the way we did was heartbreaking. Also, being able to say we've won two NCs is a big deal. Two NCs means it's not a fluke. For some critics of the program, and of JB, you hear that kind of thing: we only won one NC, so it was...
